MRI update
Hey guys just got back from the doctor MRI still looks good no new growth or anything like that. Just going to keep on the optune and see the doctor again in 2months. Next month is my one year since my last surgery and considering how I was doing this time last year I'm a lot better off and doing really well with optune so this has been a pretty good year

Setting up Optune
มุมมอง 864 ปีที่แล้ว
Hey guys just wanted to give y'all a update since its been awhile. Just had a MRI today and doctor said everything is looking good. My MRI looked better than last time and actually had some improvements. So I figured I would show y'all how I set up my optune since I had to take it off today for the MRI.

Brain Surgery

Just got done with brain surgery finally home. Surgery was on Monday got to come home Wednesday. Everything went good doctors said I did great being awake and that the dye they used really helped them get a lot of the tumor. I'm going to have to go back to speech therapy but other than that I'm feeling great!
Having Surgery
มุมมอง 304 ปีที่แล้ว
SO we went and saw my surgeon this week instead of next week cause he wanted to talk to us about having surgery on the 30th. Ill have to be awake for part of the surgery and they are going to use some kind of dye that will help them see more of the tumor so they can get the most out. It's not something that like new or hasn't been done before but ill be the first person in Dallas to have this d...
MRI update
มุมมอง 314 ปีที่แล้ว
Had my MRI today and saw my doctor after. Iv got some tumor growth so he wants me to start a treatment soon. I cant do regular chemo since it made my platelets drop last time so my choices right now are Optune or Avastin. I'm not having any kind of symptoms or anything right now so that's good. My doctor thinks trying optune first and see how it goes is probably the best plan for us right now. ...

MRI update
มุมมอง 465 ปีที่แล้ว
Had a MRI and saw the doctor today didn't really get good news but didn't get bad news so kind of still in the same spot we were 2 months ago. But David feels good about waiting another 2 months and seeing how things go.

    Good to see you in good spirits. My mri shows the same thing. I was told it was scarring, and maybe some cancer cells. Doctor wasn't sure. But it looks the same as my last mri, so no change which is a good thing. Hope that helps you with yours. God bless you, fellow glio warrior.😀

    May I suggest you papaya to increase your platelets and blood cells? My mom has been eating the fruit and she went from 50 to 200! You have nothing to lose and papaya is cheap!

  • @richardnadeau1335
    @richardnadeau1335 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Were you on temadar? Avastin is usually given, when they can't do a recection. It starves the tumor of blood.

    • @davidaustin8853
      @davidaustin8853 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      richard nadeau yes he was on Temadar had to stop it a week early cause his platelet and white blood sell drop. Said we would start Avastin when he has a flair up. David and I aren’t really good at all the names of the medication. Lol

    • @richardnadeau1335

    I put myself on a non prossesed food diet. No proosed sugars or carbs. I think it kept my platelets good. I ate samon, steak, chicken, eggs, and whole grain toast. Basically whole foods. Vest of luck to you. I've been fighting it now for 20 months.

    Hi David- sorry you are having some minor setbacks. I've read about lots of people on the forums having the same issue causing them the need to take a pause. Keep your chin up! If I recall correctly, Vitamin B12 and B9 can help increase your platelet count. You can Google foods that are high in those vitamins or maybe even try some vitamin supplements and see if that might help boost up your platelets. Keep on keeping on!

    You are looking and sounding good David! I admire how you don't let a down day keep you down and you always bounce back. That is being a true cancer warrior. You are on the home stretch. Just visualize and think about how great you are going to feel when you get to ring that bell on the last day! And don't forget a shout out to the brown cow that knows how. :)

    If you’re using Keppra get doctors to get you Vimpat. It cost a little more, but changed my life. My emotional recovery was slow because of Keppra. I stayed depressed, but Vimpat me deal with my emotions. Hang in there and keep your head up.
